Webinar Description:
Creating a learning design where assessing student evidence in electronic portfolios is the primary assessment process, and not testing, is more than a practical change. Such assessment is much richer and more valid than testing. We have said about teachers "you teach as you test," but for students the phrase would be "you learn as you are assessed." Creating a portfolio of evidence to demonstrate learning is far different than listening to a faculty member lecture. Implications are embedded in this seemingly simple change for institutional transformation at a scale and depth not seen in a thousand years. In this webinar, we will discuss ways to understand these deep changes in higher education.
